Bug Description
when spell checking is enabled, any word the user types that is not recognized gets added to the user dictionary (I think).
The problem is once a word gets added there is no way to delete it and it always shows up on the word ribbon, whether you want it or not.
We should be more selective when adding words (i.e. if you type asdafadfadsfads

I designed a "Custom words" screen in System Settings, for browsing and deleting words that you have (or a prankster has) added accidentally. <https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/LanguageAnd Text#phone- spelling> Unfortunately not only hasn't it been implemented yet, even its parent "Spell checking" screen hasn't been implemented.
I agree that it would be convenient to remove words directly from the word ribbon. Unfortunately I haven't found steps to reproduce the problem, which would help in specifying the design.
